Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing all four tires?

[StBrayden]

Replacing all four new tires only involves changing the tires and rims, which does not affect the alignment data, so a wheel alignment is not necessary. However, if the old tires were replaced due to severe abnormal wear, it may affect the wheel alignment data, and a wheel alignment should be performed. Situations requiring a wheel alignment: 1. After installing new tires or repairing collision damage; 2. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 3. Heavy or floating and shaky steering wheel while driving; 4. Vehicle pulling to one side when driving straight. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle and involves adjustments to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. The purpose of wheel alignment is to maintain stable straight-line driving, ease of steering, and to reduce wear on tires and steering components during driving.
